Building a Library of Images for Everyone

I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:

I've got a bunch of new fantasy stone and metal images ready...both standard and seamless. I think they look pretty cool. Make sure to left click on them to see the full sized images. You'll find them here:

You've got a nice collection of textures going! I'll let you know if I use any of them to make something with :D

I just started figuring out some things to do with textures, so it's pretty exciting!! A suggestion for some if you may come across them~ sponges and or glass (glass just was a random thought, not sure how one would go about doing hat one :p)

Both types, as much sponge related / derived textures :) as possible. I was able to catch a stock photo from another site that has textures, but they only had 1 sponge. Then I was like... there are so many kinds of sponges to pull texture from! Happy hunting!!

tiffany and stained glass textures would be nice too!! I haven't seen one yet, but I'm sure they would look nice as material for some 3D models. There are so many patterns and color variations for those too. As for sponge color, any would be beneficial for your colelction. I was personally looking to see what I could do with the porous looks. You could throw the bottom of a kitchen songe texture on a shell-like object and probably make some coral. The sponge texture I found was a yellow dish sponge, snapped shotted from the bottom view of it and its side. Which you could throw the side view of that on some crazy alien looking stretched cube for a platform.

Some other cool texture I found were circular objects, like doorbells or elaborate clocks. I also was able to get construction zone / skyscraper textures, like elongated bars with bolts down the sides.

I am only applying the textures I'm finding to 2D UI elements at this time. I haven't even begun to do 3D, which is just like soooo much to take in. But messing around the materials in Unity game engine, I was understanding some possibility of implications. Also I looked into this... UV wrapping, because I wanted to animate a waterfall in my pixel scene I drew. In photoshop, I animated with the timeline, but then after putting the scene into unity it was no longer animating. I was like... how can I get this waterfall to animate? Then was getting into all this other blender parallax, and other terms I can't recite at this time. looolll

Eric Matyas your web page is amazing.I don't need textures (yet) but I discover your sounds and songs they are fabulous.I will take some for my projects and I will write an attributtion for you.It's very good all this job that you make for us.Kindes regards.

I'll be adding many more images, including skins for creatures, aliens, etc.

Any requests?

Btw, I've also had folks ask about how to credit me for my images. Please simply list me and my website under "Textures" in your credits section...there's no need to identify which images are mine...unless you really want to. :-)

Anyhow, I think this is going to evolve into a really cool page. Hope it's helpful!

Hey Eric thought i'd let you know i've been making progress on my games level design. I will be starting a kickstarter in the next few months, one of the perks of donating will be a developers' blog of some sorts if you were interested in seeing how your music would be used before the game's release. I will leave a comment with a link once all is set up.

I've just uploaded about 70 new seamless metal textures. All are 2048X2048. Some have a "camo" look and might work well for military-themed objects. Others have intriguing patterns that might look cool in fantasy-based things. And some are just plain weird looking, but what the heck...give them a look. Hopefully some of them will be helpful.

I've uploaded about 20 additional seamless metal texture images to finish out the set from last week. Each is 2048X2048. For anyone who's interested, they all came from a retired DC-7 aircraft. I Hope some of them will be helpful.

I've just uploaded over 100 new stone and metal texture images, standard and seamless, that I took at a couple of archaeological sites over the weekend. I think a lot of the stone textures could work well for castles and other structures.

I've opened a fur textures page and uploaded about 70 images, both seamless and standard, to get it started. Some of them might be useful for other things, like carpets, rugs, etc. Some also have funky weaves so I included them for fun.

Hei eric, im looking for music but its quite frustrating to have to listen the music online with an ever more instable flash player and not starting streams. I prefer to download a big batch of music and listen to it from my pc it would be good if your site would have easily accessable bundles like that.
